Standard macro - currency formatter error

gwiz

I just followed the "Macro Interface Elements" advanced lesson in creating a standard macro called currency formatter. First of all the video cuts out but I followed the steps in the transcript to create the macro and after following it to a t I get an error. "Tool #3: At least 1 field must be selected". But in the interface I do select at least one field. How can I fix this? What drives this error? How do you troubleshoot?

 

Attached my currency formatter.yxmc macro and the start file.

You just need to change the configuration of the Action tool

Please mark as solution if that solves your problem :)

Thanks for the reply. It just makes all values null. Did you do that on your end to fix it? Just curious why editing the raw XML doesn't work?

Hi,
Actually for me it was returning all values formatted, and I did not tested different select options.
I have updated the macro, it is working now.
The check box tool works better with the select tool, I used it to trigger the columns to format, then returned the final table to its original structure.

Thanks. That works. Appreciate the synopsis as well.
